Muppet Audition Tape: Talked to Kevin Clash!

[Ryan]

Hey Guys!

I made an audition tape for JHC, and I had some questions. And my Dad talked to Kevin Clash on the phone!

He asked him a few questions for me. But first, my dad said "If My son was on the phone right now, he'd have goose pimples!" LOL. Of course, Kevin just busted up laughing. He advised me to send in the tape, even though I'm too young (14). He said if I was good enough, He'd invite me to the next Muppet Workshop/ class to teah me some stuff. He (Kevin) said he wants people he can teach, not people who already know it. That is great for me, because I know how to do good lip synch, but I have porblems with cameras, and reading the script, etc. He also advised me to send another tape when I'm 18-19. He also told my dad he would most likley keep me on file if I'm good, so please cross your fingers for me!

If anybody is interested in seeing my audition tape, email me at ryan200012@netscape.net

Thanks guys!

Warrick:
I'm sorry, still looking for the address. He called JHC in NY.

I'm still working on the tape. Here's what I put on it so far:
(All Lip Synch)
"Tap Your Troubles Away"- Gilda Radner, TMS 1978
"Everything Old Is New Again" - Anne Murray TMS 1979
"One Way"- Debbie Harry 1980
"The Way I've Got to Go"- Cotterpin, FR
"Why?" - Mokey, FR

BTW, I'm doing skits with MY voice tonight, I'll let you know how they turn out.

There'll all with my puppet, Candy (Full Name: Candice Lewellen Fortesque) made for me by Terry Angus.
You'll see her pic tomorrow on the new site! (that's a little innocent plug, there )

WOAAHH! Can I get the # for JHC????
That is sooo cool! Your sooo lucky!

I'm the same way you are, too as in, I'm excellent with diction (or referred to lip-syncing) but I suck at scripts and I'm a little nervous sometimes in front of an audience..heehee. *sweatdrop*

Someday I'll get used to it! Sommmmdaaaay!

That is sooo cool! I mean, with lip-syncing to songs, that is sooo fun to do! I always put a song I know on, and sit in front of my mirror with one of my puppets and just amuse myself, LoL! I'm a nut!
